OFF THE DRIBBLE: The All-VYPE preseason girls basketball teams

BEYOND THE SCOREBOARD, THOUGH, THE SPORT CONTINUES TO BE DEFINED BY THE PERSONALITIES DRIVING IT FORWARD — ATHLETES WHO REPRESENT NOT JUST THEMSELVES, BUT THE COMMUNITIES THAT SHAPED THEM.
AS ANOTHER CAMPAIGN APPROACHES, WE SPOTLIGHT THE NAMES AND PROGRAMS SETTING THE STANDARD IN H-TOWN HOOPS.

Four On The Floor: Horton, Hadnot headlining the early season
With high basketball heating up, it's time to recognize some of the top prospects in the Houston area. These young athletes are VYPE's "Four on the Floor" as the season begins in Houston.
Clear Falls' Orlando Horton (Senior--5'9 Guard)

Orlando Horton--Clear Falls
Bradley Collier (VYPE)
In his senior debut, Horton flexed by scoring 40 points and racking up 11 assists. He has proven to be one of the best available unsigned seniors in the Greater Houston area. If Horton maintains this level of consistent play, he will be in the conversation as one of the area's top collegiate acquisitions.
Cypress Creek's Corey Hadnot (Senior--6'2 Guard)

Cypress Creek's Corey Hadnot
Bradley Collier (VYPE)
Hadnot executed a game of separation in the RCS Season Opener. He efficiently scored at will and demonstrated why he is a DI player. The recent Purdue--Fort Wayne commit showed no hesitation in his game, as Hadnot’s mid-range jump shot looked elite Saturday afternoon in which he led all scorers with 33 points.
The Woodlands-College Park's Xander Singh (Senior--6'4 Forward)

College Park's Xander Singh
Bradley Collier (VYPE)
In College Park’s first tournament of the season, Singh was named MVP of the Alamo City Hoops Classic. Leading the Cavaliers to a 4-0 record to start the season, this crafty forward is averaging just over 13 points per game, and is set to usher his team to a postseason berth.
Pasadena Memorial's Robert Miller (Junior--6'10 Center)

Pasadena Memorial's Robert Miller
Bradley Collier (VYPE)
Miller demonstrated a skillful display of athleticism in game one of the season, with several college coaches in attendance, by finishing the contest with 27 points, 8 rebounds and 5 blocks versus The Woodlands.
The towering Miller was able to lead his team to victory by contesting everything at the rim and making his presence known on both ends of the floor, which is actually what Pasadena Memorial expects out of the young star. When it's all said and done, Miller will be one of the top recruits in the nation.
